Scaling climate technologies is pivotal for achieving net-zero emissions, and startups like NitroVolt and Dioxycle are paving the way with groundbreaking solutions. NitroVolt, a Denmark-based startup, is transforming ammonia production—essential for fertilizers—by developing small-scale units powered by renewable energy, drastically reducing CO2 emissions and enhancing farmer resilience.
Similarly, Dioxycle, based in France, is tackling emissions from ethylene production, a key chemical in everyday products. By developing electrolysers that convert carbon emissions into ethylene using electricity, Dioxycle reduces the carbon footprint of countless industries.
Both startups benefited immensely from the Breakthrough Energy Fellows program, which provided funding, mentorship, and resources, enabling them to scale innovations from lab prototypes to commercial solutions. With NitroVolt raising €3.5m and Dioxycle securing $17m, these companies are driving change across industries.
Investments in climate tech are not just necessary but transformative. The success stories of NitroVolt and Dioxycle highlight the power of collaboration between startups and accelerators in fostering sustainable innovation.
